A widowmaker heart attack is a type of heart attack that’s caused by a 100 percent blockage of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery. It’s also sometimes referred to as a chronic total obstruction (CTO). The LAD artery carries fresh blood into the heart so that the heart gets the oxygen it needs to pump properly. If it’s blocked, the heart can stop very fast — which is why this type of heart attack is called a “widowmaker.”
